Kieran McHugh picks out two runners he’s following this Sunday. 13:25 NAAS Workahead was disappointing in the Supreme but had good form prior to that. He is interesting. Farren Glory is a Grade One winner in his novice hurdle days and reverts to this code following a slightly disappoint chasing campaign. He could just be best left watched today. Karbau has been behind some smart horses and Townend and Mullins have a phenomenal record in this race. He is the one to beat. KARBA

Toby Darby previews the big races at Sha Tin this Sunday morning. 07:00 SHA TIN In my opinion the greatest racehorse in the world is back in action Sunday Morning Ka Ying Rising. Now it will go as no surprise that I think he will win the race, there is still a good race on for 2nd! It’s a joy to watch Ka Ying Rising and I’m sure we will see his replay plastered everywhere tomorrow. Last time out Raging Blizzard collared Fast Network for the forecast spot however I expect the

We preview every race from Cheltenham this Saturday plus the three live ITV races from Doncaster. 12:05 CHELTENHAM Jordans Cross looks the most likely victor when falling two starts back. He got back to winning ways when last seen and despite the additional weight posing a problem he'll appreciate this longer trip and should be there or thereabouts. Califet En Vol and Berlovento pose the biggest threats. JORDANS CROSS (E/W) 12:40 CHELTENHAM The unbeaten Maestro Conti and Min

Former jockey Liam Hall looks across the cards this Friday as he previews the action and gives his best bets of the day. 14:50 DONCASTER This should be all about one horse, Jamaicaine has finally got the hang of things and comes here looking for a hat trick, handy 7lb conditional removes the 7lb winners penalty and that makes her seriously well handicapped here and shouldn't get beat. Vanilla Dancer often runs a solid race and she should be picking up minor honours in this gr

Rory Paddock takes a look at the action from Meydan with a whole host of group races to delve into he previews the best racing on the card. 14:05 MEYDAN Commissioner King finished a close second in a better race last time out and the form of that contest could be franked later on the card. This looks a weaker affair and with fewer runners is the one to beat. COMMISSIONER KING (WIN) 14:40 MEYDAN Marbaan and Mysterious Night filled the top two spots in this race last year and

Alan Morris gives his best bets from Wetherby and Newcastle this Thursday. 15:40 WETHERBY It seems churlish to oppose Bollin Thou on his quest for a four-timer and he only briefly looked in trouble three days ago, with that being put down to the shorter trip rather than penalties and exertions catching up with him. Sean Bowen is back on board and he should go in again but those concerns still give a little doubt. You Did and Clondaw Royale, however, look very strong each-way

Sam King focuses his attention on the card at Newcastle and pinpoints two runners to get stuck into this Tuesday. 12:43 NEWCASTLE A mark of 72 should prove more than workable for Selenic based on her battling novice success over a mile at Kempton a year ago and you can put a line straight through her handicap debut effort at Southwell, where she found herself badly hampered when making eye-catching progress. A stoutly-bred daughter of Sea The Moon out of a Teofilo mare, Sele

Alan Morris takes a look back at last week's action and picks out two recent runners you need to be tracking. RAGING AL (T VAUGHAN) Raging Al started as a 100k yearling with Ralph Beckett but after some promise on debut ended up going to Tim Vaughan’s yard for 15k, where he finished a fair 3rd off 72 on the flat. After an unfortunate hurdle debut he has slowly got the hang of hurdling and should have a workable mark after a never-nearer 5th at Hereford with two good horses w

Matt Polley bagged a 14/1 winner last Monday and sets his sights on two runners to kick off the week. 13.08 KEMPTON Apache Green and Super Hit are in good recent form, so obviously they have to be considered, along with Equion, who does know how to win. Mbappe looks the one to be on here. He has caught the eye on his last couple of starts, and is undeniably well handicapped. MBAPPE (WIN) 13.38 KEMPTON Magna bids for the hat trick here under Oisin Murphy. She’s found her ni

Toby Darby looks to the action at Sha Tin on Sunday morning and pinpoints two runners he thinks are worth backing. 0 7:35 SHA TIN Flow Water Flow has been somewhat unlucky not to have won so far in his short career having been 2nd on all 3 starts. He has been seeing his races out well so the extra furlong should be what he needs and he also gets the talented Dylan Browne Mcmonagle who will also be eyeing his first winner on these shores. Amazing Gaze has ran well at Happy Va

Kieran McHugh heads to Thurles for his best bets of the day this Sunday as he pinpoints two runners not to ignore. 12:40 THURLES Forty Coats is a standout here having finished fourth behind The New Lion at Cheltenham. He has been missing from the race-track for a while before a below par return 20 days ago. Ifallgorswell will punish any fitness issues of the selection. FORTY COATS (WIN) 13:40 THURLES Friday Fiver could run well, after improving last time out. Jazzy Matty is

More weekend action on ITV this Sunday as the cameras return to Windsor whilst also taking in additional races at Fakenham and over in Ireland from Thurles. 13:20 WINDSOR Salver, Doyen Quest and Laurens Bay renew their rivalry after filling the top three spots in a Grade 2 contest in December. Of the trio Salver has raced again since when being stepped up in grade and finishing in a moderate fourth. Gary Moore's runner will appreciate a drop in grade and looks capable of goi

Seven races this Saturday from Ascot and Haydock as we preview all of the live ITV action to kick start the weekend. 13:25 HAYDOCK Hurricane Pat and Old Park Star look head and shoulders above the rest and with only six runners entered there isn't even room to hunt for an each-way alternative. Although Hurricane Pat has achieved more by winning a listed race last time out it's hard not to be impressed with Old Park Star's demolition job when last seen and as such gets the no

Pundit Rory Paddock previews every race from Lingfield and Southwell this Saturday as he aims to grab some winners on the dirt to kick start the weekend. 11:30 LINGFIELD The step up to 10 furlongs looks tailor made for Lord Mayor and with the booking of top jockey Oisin Murphy he looks the one to beat. Bottom-weight Onyeisi looks overpriced and the one most likely to cause the selection some issues. LORD MAYOR (WIN) 12:05 LINGFIELD Girl Of Gold races off a very low mark and a

Live ITV action this Friday with races from Windsor, Market Rasen and Newcastle. 13:50 WINDSOR It's unlikely Alinilam is going to reverse the recent form when finishing behind Hansard and the Gary Moore trained runner has a far better chance, especially with less weight to carry. Be Aware represents the top yard of Dan Skelton and after finishing second in arguably a better race looks the one to beat. The consistent No Questions Asked looks the most likely to trouble the sel

Liam Hall gives his best bets for Friday as he heads around the courses across UK and Ireland. 12:18 MARKET RASEN The Resdev Tyke got off the mark when winning at Wetherby last time out, that form reads well with the second already being a novice hurdle winner. Bluenose Belle has won twice and been second once from three handicap starts, has been a non-runner due to ground the last twice so this good to soft ground could leave her vulnerable. Drivers Pick has struggled since

Alan Morris focuses on Ludlow and Newcastle this Thursday as he looks to jumps racing action for his best bets of the day. 14:17 LUDLOW A few in here need to step up on their limited chasing experience. Another Folly is performing better this season over fences for his in-form yard and will be popular but Jaitroplaclasse looks value to improve for this step up in trip. He was well-backed at Sedgefield last time but hit a flat spot around that speed-flavouring track before sta

Alan Morris gives his weekly round-up of recent runners as he nominates two to follow going forward. MR FINCH (B PAULING) Mr Finch was well-backed on UK and hurdle debut at Fontwell on the strength of one second in an Irish point-to-point maiden and he ran well against previous winners with hurdle experience. The 5yo gelding was a tad keen and overjumped a little but only weakened late on and ran a race full of promise in finishing fourth in a good novice for the course. He s

Matt Polley heads to Wolverhampton to kick start the week with his best bets of the day on Monday. 18:30 WOLVERHAMPTON Plenty in with chances, but a lot will depend on who gets the rub of the green over this tricky seven. Arnaz is well enough handicapped to win one of these, but he hasn’t been getting the job done. Connections reach for cheek pieces. Flowstate is very consistent and would be a must for any placepot punters out there. A chance is taken with Bear Rock. She lo

Toby Darby heads to Sha Tin for two races to get stuck into this Sunday morning. 08:05 SHA TIN Almost without fail when betting in HK the first place you should look is the mount of Zac Purton, he is a class above and often gets his pick of the bunch. He has been aboard Little Paradise the last 4 times yielding result of 2131 there was still plenty left in the tank last time, despite going up in grade he drawn well and doesn’t carry a big weight he’s hard to oppose.
